Local Government: Elections
(asked on 20th February 2026) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will publish the evidence he planned to file at the High Court on the postponement of local elections in England in May 2026.
This question was answered on 26th February 2026
I refer the Rt Hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 23 February 2026 (HCWS1349).
It is a longstanding principle that government does not comment on or publish legal advice. The case the Rt Hon. Member refers to has now been concluded and the Court did not make any judgement against the government.
